When we talk about this hotel we have a totally different way to approach this type of building than usual. It becomes a 5 stars masterpiece.

19 different architectural firms and designers, from 13 different countries have participated, to give each of the 12 floors a different concept, using various materials, colors and shapes. Turning it into an eclectic space where the guest can interact with the environment.

FLOOR 00: Reception and Lounges, by John Pawson. It is characterized by minimalism, the use of wood and the author’s intention to show a continuous space. Remarkable the semicircle panel to hide the reception and stone canal through which water flows, to awaken the senses of the customer.

FLOOR 01: rooms by Zaha Hadid, fluidity and play of lines make up this plan to create fluid spaces. Sinuous shapes and curves like science fiction. Stresses the LED lighting on the doors because from inside the room can be programmed messages for the hotel staff. The material used is LG-HiMacs, very ductile.

FLOOR 02: Game of forms and materials by Norman Foster, has been used as inspiration the color palette of the Basque sculptor Eduardo Chillida, for which uses materials such as leather in different tones, glass backlit translucent and onyx all together make up an elegant and spaciousness space.

FLOOR 03: Luxury and privacy by David Chipperfield, it will be served for the use of materials such as terracotta and marble, and a play of lights to show depth and geometric use of space. The black color make up a very masculine space in the rooms broken by a DM panel painted in blue at the roof.

FLOOR 04: the most risky of all the floors, by Plasma Studio, they were a part of this project after winning a contest. Geometric lines and cold materials such as stainless steel. A big spaceship is what the client feels upon entering this floor, all combined with different colored lighting for a feeling reinforced. The same piece of steel gives form to hallway and the interior of the rooms.

FLOOR 05: the fashions designers Victorio & Lucchino, are in charge of this floor project. Warm materials like velvet, linen and cotton are used by the designers. Artworks of artist Sergio Cruz on the wall where the headboard is located, personalized for each room, and furniture designed by them complete this floor.
